Mt6761 Scatter File
MT6761 scatter file is a plain text configuration file ( ) used by MediaTek-powered devices to define the precise layout of the phone's internal eMMC or UFS storage. It serves as a roadmap for flashing tools, such as the SP Flash Tool

[Revised] How to use SP Flash tool to flash Mediatek firmware
- Always use the scatter file matching the exact target device variant and eMMC layout. Mismatched scatter addresses will brick the device.
- Back up critical partitions first: preloader, lk/lk2, boot, recovery, nvram, efs, and userdata if needed.
- Avoid flashing preloader unless necessary — corrupt preloader can prevent device from entering USB boot and make recovery harder.
- If preloader must be flashed, ensure drivers and power source are stable; use a battery or stable cable.
- For upgrades where partition sizes changed, use Firmware Upgrade mode in SP Flash Tool to update the partition table.
- When building custom ROMs, set file_name to NONE for partitions you do not intend to include; leaving mismatched binaries can cause problems.
- Keep a copy of the original scatter file; if you modify addresses, document changes carefully.
- Use hashes (SHA256) to verify image integrity before flashing.
- For devices using UFS vs eMMC, partition offsets and handling may differ — confirm storage type.
- If device doesn’t connect: install VCOM/Android drivers, try different USB cables/ports, hold necessary key combos, and try with a battery inserted.
- If device enters “preloader-only” mode (no normal boot after flashing), use the original scatter and preloader or seek a full factory firmware for recovery.
